While you’re enjoying your first mouthful, consider how your can make life sweeter for local businesses. They're struggling to stay afloat and the last thing that a harried business owner needs to do is figure out how to navigate a municipal website to register their business or remit taxes.
Today's civic leaders need to be able to provide taxpayers with an online payment platform that's as easy to use as consumer-style tools. When you add Localgov to your site, your community is offering the business community a clear sign that you're on their side:
- Offer taxpayers payment options that work for them (ACH drafts, credit, or debit) all processed safety
- No more downloading forms, writing checks, and sticking stamps—it's all online, from filing to confirmation
- Concierge-style customer care offered by our team of local-government experts
Learn how easy it is to add Localgov to your community's technology offerings. Because that chocolate cake will taste so much richer when you know you’ve done all you can to make sure your local businesses are set up for the future.
